Sad but true fact: These days we rarely get to enjoy a truly positive customer service experience when it comes to computer hardware. Well, today I am here to share an exception to that rule. Last week I started having some trouble with my Dell 
laptop. My screen would start blinking out of the blue. The touch pad would seem out of touch. Then it started to freeze and require frequent rebooting. By Thursday the thing totally went crazy and it became clear that I was in need of some serious customer service.
Well, let me tell you – after a totally reasonable wait of less than 5 minutes, I was connected to a totally helpful Dell™ Home service rep located in Salt Lake City, Utah. We were on the phone for quite a while as he instructed my on how to run various diagnostic tests and I reported results back to him. By late afternoon the verdict was in – I needed a new hard drive, mother board and video card! I wasn’t as frantic as I have been in the past when a computer starts to get all wiggy – after the last time, I’m much better prepared for a tragedy. I’ve got online data backups and external hard-drive data backups (live and learn!) plus the laptop in question is not even a year old so I knew that whatever was wrong with it was covered under the warranty. The one thing that did have me worried was that I knew that I was leaving town on Saturday morning and there just wasn’t much time. And what happened? Before I even had a chance to explain my schedule needs, the plan was underway. The exact parts were being dispatched by overnight courrier to a technician in my area. The technician was supposed to call me after the parts were received and not later than noon and then COME TO MY HOUSE and perform the repair not later than 2 PM. And get this – that is exactly what happened. By 2 in the afternoon, my new best friend Cary the Dell™ Home Tech had replaced all the faulty components and reassembled my laptop to better than new condition. It’s running better than it did when it was brand new!
Don’t get me wrong, a computer crash is never fun. At its best, computer crash . But Dell™ Home made it as pain free is it could possibly have been. The only bummer was that I did have to restore a bunch of my programs and my data – an annoyance but hardly a tragedy. They TOTALLY took care of me and FAST.
Thought you’d want to know.

More than one kind of apple is in season right now. Along with the fall bushels of Gala, Golden Delicious, Grannie Smith and Mount Fuji delights, a new crop is ripe for the picking at the Apple Store

Going mobile at home can be harder than it seems. We all do it from time to time – take the laptop into the bedroom or living room. Maybe into the yard on a nice sunny afternoon. What could be more blissful than a beautiful day and a frosty beverage to enjoy while you catch up on e-mails or do a little shopping. The problem – it’s just not that comfortable of convenient to balance a laptop on your lap or on the edge of a sofa or chair.
"e;Z"e; Mobile Laptop Desk – Cherry Finish 
$99 at Stacks and Stacks 
.
I’m going to solve that problem with this ultra cool “Z” cart. It gets its name from its modern z-shaped form. This handsome rolling computer desk is perfect for students and people who work from a simple laptop computer. Don’t underestimate its capabilities though; this rolling laptop desk features a bottom shelf and adjustable drawer under the work surface for organization and ergonomic correctness. Available in cherry (as shown) or a natural maple finish.

For the most part it is pretty fabulous if you’re lucky enough to work at home. But working at home has its downside, too. One is that you’re never very far from your office. The other downside to working at home is that you’ve got to pay for all your own office furniture.
Because my office is literally smack in the middle of my house – in a semi-open room adjacent to the kitchen – it’s really important to me that my office is clean, organized and attractive. And because I’ve got to pay for everything myself – I bargain hunt. I want the best (and most attractive) office furniture and file storage that I can find – but I don’t want to spend a penny more than I must.

And I’m such a happy, happy girl. I am writing this on my brand spanking new 24 inch iMAC. WOW! Who knew that the world of computers could be this fast, easy and luxuriously comfortable? It’s my first MAC and I was a teeny bit nervous since it’s a whole different world of everything, but it’s been unbelievably easy.
I was also a bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to do much of my real work – but I was wrong about that too. This week, Apple announced the release of Microsoft Office 2008 for MAC. Available for pre-order at Apple Store – I’m going to be making some BIG spreadsheets on my massive 24 inch screen!

It’s no secret that when it comes to computers, I’m a Dell girl. I’ve always got at least one Dell machine in my office – sometimes more than one. While I love their computers and peripherals, I find their deals overwhelming. By the time I’ve logged into the website to check out a special offer I saw in a catalog or e-mail and it’s gone. I’ve solved the problem. They change their special offers every week, and the links I’m placing here are (theoretically) supposed to automatically update every Thursday with the newest offers.
Current weekly offers from Dell Business
And, of course, more weekly Special Deals from Dell™ Home
I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I did this correctly. We’ll know for sure in a week!

I absolutely love watching those ‘clean out the clutter’ shows on TV. I remember one British show where they actually brought a huge chipper out in front of the house and made the constestants shred all their accumulated junk. My all time favorite has got to be Clean House. It’s fun and funny – and their organizing tips are the best. I’ve seen a couple of episode lately where they did some really interesting storage / office hanging wall systems. One home office was actually completely concealed in a closet.
I thought these storage solutions were FABULOUS. Each time I was both impressed and surprised to learn that the entire office / storage/ closet system was actually from Rubbermaid 
. Everything looked so sleek and modern and high end. For the best selection and price, shop directly at the source. Shop & Save on Rubbermaid.com!
